Day 38/365 Burns All the Way Down

Since I'm on a fire kick I decided to try doing a "burning shot" picture. This setup was a little different. Instead of just one "whoosh" I wanted a slow burn that kept a flame going and instead of just blue I wanted a little orange-ish flame too. So, I poured about 3 capfuls of alcohol into the glass and let it stay there instead of swooshing it around and coating the sides. It burned for quite a while and I got this shot on the first try because I had time to adjust settings, etc. while it was burning. Fun!
I can't seem to get enough of fire!
EXIF: f 2.8, 1.6 sec, ISO 100, no flash.

You little firefly! I'm loving this theme. I like the colors and the simple composition. It really draws the eye to the flames. Did you have a congratulatory sip for getting it on the first shot? hey random idea- print this picture, then light it, and take another so you have a shot of a burning shot of the burning shot. he he okay sorry I'm a little sleepy/wierd today. :)

About Me

I am a mom of 2 amazing boys, Spanish teacher and wanna-be photographer.
I've always had an interest in photography and now with my first DSLR I'm trying to really learn as much as I can. My camera has basically become an extension of my arm and eye.
Hopefully with this 365 project, we'll see lots of growth in my pictures. It will take longer than 365 days, but I will get 365 pictures eventually!
